Overview

Sunward Sun-Glizide 30mg Tablet is a tablet with Gliclazide 30mg (modified-release) declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 60s.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

Sunward Sun-Glizide 30mg Tablet should only be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor following an online consultation via DoctorOnCall, typically once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. The tablet must be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should not be crushed, chewed, or split, as this can disrupt the modified-release action and cause the dose to be released too quickly.

Dosage

The starting dose and any increase are determined individually by a doctor based on blood glucose monitoring, with adjustments usually made gradually at intervals of about one month if needed, up to a maximum daily dose set by your doctor. Unlike immediate-release gliclazide tablets, which may be taken more than once a day, this modified-release 30mg tablet is designed for once-daily dosing and must not be self-adjusted; always follow the instructions given after your DoctorOnCall consultation.

Shelf Life

Sunward Sun-Glizide 30mg Tablet is generally stable for up to 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly in its original packaging. Always check the expiry date on the blister strip or carton and do not use tablets that are past their expiry date.

Side Effects

  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
  • Nausea or stomach discomfort
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Weight gain
  • Skin rashes (rare)

Contraindications

  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis
  • Known hypersensitivity to gliclazide, other sulfonylureas, or sulfonamide medicines
  • Severe kidney or liver impairment
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding, unless specifically directed by a doctor
  • Concurrent use of miconazole (oral or systemic), which increases the risk of severe hypoglycaemia

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other blood-glucose-lowering medicines or insulin, which can increase the risk of hypoglycaemia
  • Miconazole, which is contraindicated due to a high risk of severe hypoglycaemia
  • Alcohol, which can increase the risk of hypoglycaemia and may cause flushing-type reactions
  • NSAIDs and certain other pain relievers, which may enhance the blood-sugar-lowering effect
  • Corticosteroids and certain diuretics, which may raise blood sugar and reduce gliclazide’s effectiveness
  • Beta-blockers, which can mask the warning signs of hypoglycaemia

Quick Tips

  • Take this modified-release tablet once daily with breakfast, exactly as prescribed after an online consultation through DoctorOnCall
  • Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or split it, as this affects how the medicine is released
  • Always carry a fast-acting source of sugar in case of hypoglycaemia symptoms
  • Do not skip meals after taking your dose, as this increases the risk of low blood sugar
  • Attend regular blood glucose monitoring and follow-up appointments so your doctor can review your dose over time
